BRERETON FAMILY
Born: Venables, Eure, Haute-Normandy, France
Died: 1072, Northwich, Cheshire, England
Father: Odo II (Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres)
Mother: Ermengarde d'AUVERGNE
Married: Petronilla De FÉZENSAC
Children:
1. Gilbert De VENABLES
Born: Évreux, Eure, Haute-Normandie, France
Died: 1100, Brereton, Cheshire, England
Notes: The manor of Brereton is one of the six dependencies of the barony of Kinderton, and in the Domesday Book, the tenant was Gislebertus Venator, who is probably the same man as Gislebert (Gilbert) De Venables, as the Venables family held the barony of Kinderton. The manor of Brereton was soon after granted to another family who assumed the name of the manor. Although it seems likely that the two families were related, particularly as their eventual arms were similar, there is no clear indication of the manner in which they were related. Ralph De Brereton is the first person in this family that is mentioned in records; this is as a witness together with Orme De Davenport, of a deed of Gilbert De Venables, date unknown but sometime during the reigns of William II or Henry I. He may have had two sons: William De Brereton, who is thought to be the ancestor of the Venables family, and another Ralph De Brereton, who witnessed the grant of Marton to Richard De Davenport in 1176. Davenport was married to Amabilia De Venables, indicating again that there were close ties between the families.

Notes: a Writ regarding Isabel Egerton, wife of John Delves, knight, was issued on 14 Nov 1395, which resulted in an Inquisition taken at Stafford, on Thursday before Palm Sunday, 19 Richard II [1396], which found Isabel died on Sunday before St Luke last, and her heir was William son of William de Brereton, knight, aged 40 years and more, to wit, son of Ellen sister and heir of the said Isabel. Died in 1425/6 after participating in the battle of Pontorson under lord Scales.
Because both William and Angela were descended from Sir Ralph Vernon, they were considered consanguineous in the fourth degree on each side and needed a dispensation to marry, which Richard de Dounes, prior of the Carmelites of Chester confirmed on 12 Jun 1386, the proceedings stating that the indulgence was granted in consequence of the services of Sir William in the crusade against don Enrique, instrusive king of Castile.

4 Sep 1559, Brereton, Cheshire, EnglandNotes: succeeded his grandfather, chief justice of Ireland, to considerable lands in Cheshire, and also owned some duchy of Lancaster property at Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, and manors in several other counties. Most of the information found about him concerns his military career. He took part in the 1544 expedition to Scotland, and was knighted by the Earl of Hertford after the successful attack on Leith. In Mary’s reign he was in trouble with the government for illegally claiming the mayoralty of Congleton, Cheshire. He was again fighting on the Scottish border in Sep 1558: a Privy Council letter thanked him for his part in the ‘exploit at Coidingham’.
He died, still under 40. The widow, who was granted the wardship of their son and heir
William, married as her second husband Sir Lawrence Smith. See: http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1558-1603/member/brereton-sir-william-i-1520-59Father: William BRERETON (Sir)
